| Abstract | |
In this work we outline the classic theory of Einstein-Yang-Mills fields and work out a set of particular equations suited for numerical simulations. We consider two special cases with space-time symmetries: self-gravitating spherical symmetric and axially symmetric field on a Minkowski space-time. We use the numerical method of lines for time evolution of discretized fields. On the spherical symmetric case, the fields are discretized by finite differences and on the axial symmetric case we compare the field discretization by the pseudo-spectral method and finite differences method. For time stepping we use a self-adaptive Runge-Kutta method. In the simulation of Yang-Mills self-gravitating fields with spherical symmetry we show the evolution of implosion and explosion of a energetic shell without black hole or stable body formation. In the axial symmetric case besides implosion and explosion of pulses of different colours of Yang-Mills fields, we also generate several dynamic solutions that display the transient of the energy exchange among these colours (AU) | |
